âThen what are your plans for the future? Are you just going to drift around like this?â
âThey are both good people, and I am content being able to see the both of them,â Qin Yingyue said.
âBut heâs still your son.â
Both of them were mothers and understood how important children were to them.
âHeâs indeed my son, but I only gave birth to him and didnât raise him. I donât have the right to ask for too much,â Qin Yingyue said. âThings are quite good as
it is.â
âBut I thinkâ¦â
Liang Ruoxu opened her mouth but hesitated. âWith Lin Yiâs ability and intelligence, it shouldnât be difficult for him to find you or find out about you.â âI believe that. Heâs my son,â Qin Yingyue said with a smile.
âBut he still doesnât have any intention of doing so. I feel like he doesn ât regard us too much, so⦠I wonât force him.â
Liang Ruoxu did not speak and quietly refilled her cup of tea. She could hear the helplessness in Qin Yingyueâs words.
If she had a choice, she probably wouldnât be like this.
Even a heartless person like her felt reluctant, let alone a gentle person like this woman.
âThen from now on, youâll go wherever Lin Yi goes, right?â Shen Shuyi asked.
âMore or less.â Qin Yingyue said, âTm already so old, but I donât have a career like you. I donât have much to do other than this.â
âWhat about the Qin family?â Shen Shuyi asked.
âBack then, the Qin family was furious about you and Lin Jingzhan. Lin Yiâs two uncles were beaten down by Lin Jingzhan, causing the Qin family to suffer a sharp decline. Tensions havenât eased even after all these years. If they learned about Lin Yi, might they do something overboard?â
âMaybe, but itâs hard to say,â Qin Yingyue said. âHe had a part to play in the decline of the Qin family, but what happened back is primarily their fault. I donât think Jingzhan is to blame.â âJust like what happened today? â
Qin Yingyue said, âThese people were in the wrong first. The two of them had just done what they needed to.â
âIf the Qin family meets Lin Yi one day and really fights with him, and Lin
Jingzhan isnât by your side, what will you do?â
âI donât thinkâ¦â
Qin Yingyue laughed. âl donât think my son will lose. The Qin family is inferior to my son.â
Liang Ruoxu quietly observed Qin Yingyue, recognizing her unwavering stance on matters of principle. She maintained her own perspective, even when dealing with her own family members.
Indeed, the gentler a person was, the harder it was to tame them. All these years, she had been living peacefully because of her tenacity.
âBut do you know anything about Lin Yiâs recent situation?â
âI think he got a piece of land in a place called Happiness Village. Heâs making fish ponds and rearing pigs. Itâs really troublesome,â Qin Yingyue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
âThatâs not what Iâm talking about. Heâs here to participate in the Central Guards Brigadeâs trial.â Shen Shuyi said.
âWith his level, it wonât be a problem for him to pass the test. Do you have any thoughts about this?â
âNo,â Qin Yingyue replied.
âI canât control either of them, but I heard from his father that a place like the Central Guards Brigade is filled with formalism. Itâs still a question if he can get used to staying in the Central Guards Brigade.â
Liang Ruoxuâs heart trembled.
The Central Guards Brigade was a formalistic place?
What kind of person was Lin Yiâs father? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI heard that the Central Guards Brigade carries out all kinds of special missions and is very dangerous. Are you comfortable with this?â
âThereâs nothing I can do even if Iâm worried. I canât control it,â Qin Yingyue said.
âIf he really enters the Central Guards Brigade, the two of them might still meet in the future. This is quite interesting to think about. â
âYouâre really something. I canât hold a candle to your mind at all,â Shen Shuyi said with a smile.
âBack then, there were many people who tried to woo you. Many of them were from Tsinghua University and Yan University.â âNone of them were up to par. Only Old Liang was my type.â
âThatâs true. Old Liang is indeed a good person.â
The three of them chatted until they reached deeper topics. At last, Liang Ruoxu could not take it anymore, so she snuggled to the side and slept.
Meanwhile, Qin Yingyue and Shen Shuyi chatted until past three in the morning.
The next morning, Lin Yi stretched his body in a daze while Li Chuhan quietly sat beside him and put on his clothes.
âAm I interrupting something?â
âNo, I have something on today, Iâm going out later.â Lin Yi stood up, âDo you have a meeting today?â
âThereâs a lecture at Union College. I didnât want to go at first, but my teacher named me back then. So, I have to drop by now.â Li Chuhan said.
âHow many days will you be staying in Yanjing this time?â
âThatâs hard to say,â Lin Yi said, âWhat about you? When are you going back?â
âI am supposed to go back after todayâs lecture, but I have an appointment with
Nannan and the others tonight. I think I will only go back tomorrow.â âMy private plane is at the airport. You can take that back tomorrow.â
âThereâs no need. The hospital will reimburse me for the flight ticket.â Li Chuhan smiled and said, âYou can save your money.â
âHaha, excellent,â Lin Yi said, âIâll leave Chen Yanâs car for you. Itâs more convenient to drive it around. â
Li Chuhan shook her head. âYou drive. I can take a taxi. Besides, Nannan and
Yingying have cars. They can send me wherever I want to go.â
âSo you are going to sit in someone elseâs car while doing your own thing. Thatâs even better.â
Li Chuhan smiled gently. âDonât you have something to do later? Hurry up and get dressed. Donât be late.â
âSure thing.â
After the two of them washed up, they went to the hotel to eat.
While eating, Lin Yi opened an email on his phone.
Tao Cheng had previously sent him this email. It contained basic information about the trial training.
The most important details were the time and place.
Time: 9 a.m.
Location: Tongzhou Training Base 845.
After eating, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan split up and left.
The traffic congestion in Yanjing exceeded Lin Yiâs expectations.
The 20-kilometer journey took 40 minutes, and he was only halfway there.
This made Lin Yi very confused.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was a call from Tao Cheng.
âWeâre about to gather. Where are you?â
âYanjingâs traffic is so frustrating. It took over 40 minutes to cover a distance of just a little over ten kilometers. This wonât do, my friend. â
âWellâ¦â Tao Cheng paused for a moment. âYanjingâs traffic is notorious nationwide. You should have left at least half an hour earlier.â
âWhat if Iâm late? Will it be a big problem?â
âHmm⦠Iâll put in a good word for you, but hurry up.â
âOkay.â
Training Base 845 was the basic training base of the Central Guards Brigade.
Some ordinary training would be completed here. Usually, they would undergo field training in this compound.
There were more than 30 people standing in front of the training building.
Tao Cheng and Wang Bingyu, whom Lin Yi had met before, were also among them.
âItâs almost nine oâclock. Heâs not here yet.. What kind of place does he think the Central Guards Brigade is?â
